At Rockwell Automation's 2025 Automation Fair, industry leaders discussed how automation is enabling low-carbon transformation in manufacturing, reshaping circular production and regulatory compliance. Automation is now the backbone of emerging decarbonization strategies, driving sustainability in heavy industry through clean hydrogen production, circular materials, and tire depolymerization. Automakers are required to validate battery materials' provenance and embedded carbon, with Circulor's SaaS platform automating emissions accounting. Automation ensures efficiency, stability, and cost-effectiveness in meeting carbon benchmarks, easing adoption for risk-averse manufacturers and enabling practical emissions reduction strategies like tire recycling.
